Now THAT is the kind of design I am looking for. What happened to us? 60 years later and we have a big chunky battery strapped on to a boring frame.

Man, is that guy strong or what?

Yeah, that's cool looking.

Man, that's great, that is until you get halfway up the next hill and have to start peddeling that tank up the rest of the way. Love the pedals though.

Only a few hundred of those fiberglass Bowden Spacelanders were ever built. These days, they are sought after as collector's items and go for around $15K.
